mantle Platform.
ToLED0. O., July 29.-The Republican COO
vention was called to order At ten o'clock,
yesterday morning. by Temporary Chair
man Ryan. The committee ON credeneials
and rules made its report which WAS
adopted, and Ex-Governor Charles Foster,
chairman of the Committee on Resolutions,
read the platform, which was as follows:
The Republican party, In convention as
sembied, submits to the people Of Ohio the fol-
lowing declaration Of its principles:
We are in favor OF protective tarlY. to secure
to American citizens the privilege Of supplying
every article that can be produced as well in
the United States IS in other countries, sum-
Gent to supply American wants. Such q tariff
makes a demand for, and gives employment to,
the labor Of American citizens, and thereby aids
in securing just compensation for labor. We
denouncc the Ohio Democratic platform Of
tariff for revenue only. which demands indis-
criminate reductions In all duties on imported
articles, the effect Of which would be to en-
courage importation, thus giving American
patronage to foreign labor, rather than to our
own.
While we adhere to the public policy under
which our country has received from Europe
great bodies Of honest and Industrious citizens,
who have added to the wealt,. progress and
power of our country. and while we welcome to
our shores the well disposed and Industrious
emigrant who contributes by his energy and in
telligence to the cause Of free government, We
view With alarm unrestricted immigration from
foreign lands as dangerous to the peace and
good order Of the country and the integrity and
character Of its citizenship. We urge Congress
to pass such laws and establish such regula-
tons as shall protect Us from the inroad Of the
anarchist. the communist. the poIygamst the
fugitive from justice, the insane. dependent
paupers. the vicious and criminal classes,
contract labor in every form under any
name or guise. and all others who seek our
shores. not to become part OF our civilization
and citizenship, who acknowledge no allegi-
ance to our laws. no sympathy for our aims and
Institutions, but who come among US to make
war upon society, to diminish the dignity and
rewards of American workingmen aud degrade
our labor to their level Against all these our
gates should be closed. But, while favoring
every honorable and practical measure to pro-
tect American labor against the evil effects OF
foreign immigration and competition. we recog-
nize also dangers which menace it at home, and
condemn as hostile to the cause. and as sub
versive to its dignity and power. the bold. per

political rights and privileges. The condition
of men who labor in the North can not be main
tanned or improved SO long as men who
labor in the South are wrcngfully de-
prived of the rights and powers OF American
citizenship. Their labor meets in close. irnmc-
date competition, and neither can be degraded
without striking at the prosperity and indie
peadence of the other Recognizing these plain
truths, we demand free ballot and a fair
mint in all nf f1a d<-
mand it, and will ever demand it as the only
source Of justice to the real producers of pros
pef1ty and wealth and the sole security Of the
Republic and its free institutions.
We deprecate national strife and divisions.
We have placed the war. with its hates and re-
venges, behind US: bu. the settlements of the
war must stand irrevocable respected. honored
and observed in every part of the Republic
More NC have neves, demanded: less, we will
not have. Congress should exercise its const-
tutional authority and take control and super
vision of the election OF Representatives to
Congress.
(The next resolution demands such duties on
wool and manufactures thereof as will secure an
American market to American producers and
Of the Treasury in customs cases in the interest
of foreign producer and foreign labor in opposi.
ton to the letter and spirit Of the tariff laws-l
We favor liberal pensions to the soldiers and
sailors OF the Union, adequate appropriations
for the improvement of our national waterways
and national aid to education. If too much rev.
enue be collected to meet these and other
needs. We demand that the first step in the re-
duction thereof shall De the abolition of the in
ternal tax upon American grown tobacco.
Pubic lands OF the United States should be
sacredly held for the use and benefit of actual
settlers alone and the laws preventing owner
ship of these Lands By corporations and non
resident aliens should be rigidly enforced.
While We condemn the pretenses of President
Cleveland's administration of the Civil Service
law, We advocate the maintenance and proper
enforcement of said law and demand such atldi-
tional legislation as viii remove appointments
from partisan influence.
The Republican party has ever been the friend
of oppressed natioualities, and We extend our
hearty sympathy 10 Gladstone. Parnell and their
associates in their efforts to secure home rule
for ireland.
We condemn tie action Of Mr.. Cleveland in
vetoing the pension bills, and especially We de-
nounce the spirit manifested toward r1aiE c 1
and disabled soldiers OF the country in the
language in which certain of his vetoes are
ccuched and We condemn as unjust and un-
merited his veto Of the Dependent Pension bill.
and declare tina: it was in plain violation Of the
nations pledges to its defenders and of the OF,
repeated promises OF the Democratic party OF
the North made during the political campaigns
10 secure votes.
We demand of Congress that il pass and of
the President that he approve liberal enact
ments pensioning the soldiers of the country.
that helpless widows Of dead soldiers, regard
less of cause of death, dependent Parents and
disabled soldiers shall receive bounty Of the
nation they fought to save, and Oaich they
richly deserve.
The resolutions also demand change in
the patent laws so as TO protect persons in
infringing UPON patents; indorses
the administration Of Governor Foraker;
deuounces election frauds committed by the
Democratic party in Ohio in the election of
